Looking Back in Time with Bob Frishman: Timekeeping and Timekeepers in New England

Thursday, February 2, 2017, 1pm

Join us on Groundhog Day for an engaging talk by Bob Frishman of Bell-Time Clocks in Andover. Using more than 100 digital images, Mr. Frishman will present a history of clocks and watches in New England beginning with the arrival of the Mayflower up to the adoption of standard time by the railroads in the late 19th century. The talk will also include information and photographs of the inner workings of time pieces from Andover Historical’s collection on display in the gallery. At the end of the presentation Mr. Frishman will offer informal appraisals for those interested in bringing in their own small clock or watch. A donation to the Andover Historical Society for the appraisal service is greatly appreciated. Registration for this program is required. Cost is FREE for Members and $5 for Non-Members.
